BREAKING: North Carolina students sue GOP officials to restore voting sites to the U.S.’ largest HBCU, and two campuses across the state.
The removals, which came weeks before the state’s 2026 primaries, were the latest from the GOP-led state election board to restrict voting in the Tar Heel State.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

When you have members of the supreme court accused of sexual assault and others featuring in the Trumpstein files we know that their integrity and independence are gone.
There's a reason they unbelievably gave the pedo immunity, and it had everything to do with some of them being blackmailed.

Indeed. All in.
Chuck Schumer's starting position should be as maximalist as possible -- complete abolition of ICE, resignations of Bovino, Homan, Noem and Miller, unmasking of all agents, and prosecution by state authorities of the murderers.
Don't start with what looks like a compromise half-measure.

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.

Absolute truth.
The same Christians supporting ICE terrorizing our communities are the same Christians who brought their kids to picnics to watch lynchings.
This is what they’re taught in church and IS what their pastor taught them to vote for. This shouldn’t be America but it IS America.

Cutting off all military aid to Israel is a must, and cutting off all other funding is also a must.
Until Israel stops annexing Palestinian land and attacking Palestinians in the West Bank, it should get not another dime from any country, and certainly not from the USA.

We are at another crossroads where we have to count on Senate Dems to hold the line, and that terrifies me more than anything else.
Because the cowardice amongst Dems in office is like nothing I have ever witnessed.

When any of us enter the debate about Alex Pretti's gun, we're implicitly allowing that there could be a reason this wasn't plain murder, which is why we have to make the case that it was. We don't have to make the case. It's on video. We saw it. No debate.
